The reason I am interested in someone at the 'hobbyist' level getting something to the moon is that it could change public perception of space exploration from something governments to something that institutions the sizes of universities regularly do, or for that matter any moderately rich individual. In other words it isnt just something that someone else does with your money, it is something you might do if you really want to.

Professor Bob Twiggs at Stanford estimates that student-built Cubesats could be sent to the Moon for $65,000 apiece.

haha same at any university. they're corporations, not schools =P but at least it will be a profitable post office getting plenty of money to fund my research on how to make the post office run more efficiently
